And even better - they are far less frequent, I understand, so will bother those they pass by even less! Roll-on Lower Southwark being wholly cut-off from the rest of London, but in a quiet(er) way. Tooley St. must be devastated that the ASLEF action may be being called off, and must rely on the RMT to keep up the misery.
About time, years too late as well! I remember those bus new in early 2000's! I live right on the road they use so I have to hear them roar pass both ways! Night time was more annoying, quiet road then......ROAR!!!!!!!!!! Amazed it took so long, think they were newer replaced bus's than the other routes in the early 2000's then the other routes got better bus, but no not the 176, that stock had to go on for more years! what a faf, I saw on scrap kings tv program the exact type of bus 176 use, getting ripped to bits, was very satisfying, so by noisy bus, hello cleaner quieter more uplifting interior and cleaner bus! way long passed it cell by date! life got better all the sudden i feel! HA
I live on Lordship Lane and it is noticeably quieter. The old ones sounded like someone was trying to suck your brains out of your ear with a vacuum cleaner. Hopefully the new buses have heating too. I remember regularly been absolutely frozen in winter by the time you eventually reached Tottenham Court Road on the old 176.
I saw that some of them were ending at Aldwych. Is that going to be a more usual thing, I wonder? Heating is OK but if it is switched on at the factory and the driver CBA to switch it off once the day warms up it can be unpleasant. Glad they're here but I have to say I much prefer to walk as much as I can, especially as most people don't seem to be able to grasp the need to "move down inside" let alone go upstairs.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
